I use “red man” when I want because it’s easier than “North American Indian” or “Indigenous People” or “First Nations” or other terms that say the same thing. I use “white man” because it’s easier than “European man” or “Anglo American”. If you’re offended, ok. I’m offended too for the below reasoning.
And, I don’t write these words out of hatred for North American Indians. Frankly, the more I learn about them, the more I want to know about them. They fascinate me. There was a genius to them that we moderns would benefit for knowing. The modern day Indians would benefit too, as many seem quite ignorant of the ancestors’ ways, both good and bad.
But I don’t feel like preambling further. Let me get to the point.
The ancestors of the red man killed red and white men with impunity to conquer lands and resources. Those who deny this are historically ignorant. There was no red man utopia. That’s historical fantasy. Their lives were nasty, brutish and short too. They killed countless people in strengthening their civilizations. The notion that they are absolved from the stains and sins of blood and conquest but the white man is not is only an evil argument based purely on a double standard.
It’s total hypocrisy.
Why is it that the Indian who killed to conquer is perfectly righteous and noble in doing so to establish his civilization, but the white man doing the same thing with far greater efficiency, because of the more advanced aspects of his culture, is somehow perfectly evil and undeserving of maintaining his civilization?
You cannot call the Indian good and the Anglo evil for doing the exact same things. You cannot call the Indian good for killing to conquer and then turn right around and call the Anglo bad for killing to conquer. You have to a reason for calling one good and the other bad. That reason has to be reasonable. It has to be logical.
I’ve yet to come across a reasonable reason for declaring one good and the other bad. Such a declarations seems only arbitrary and hypocritical.
Look, I’m not defending murdering innocents. I’m not denying that whites committed atrocities unto the red man. I wouldn’t deny any sins of the white race if they are true. Truth must always stand. It sets us free. We must mold our worldviews around it.
But the red man committed atrocities too. The red man killed innocents too. You’re a hypocrite if you say the red man was perfectly justified in killing innocents but the whites were not. I hate this hypocrisy with an enduring passion beause it has been poisoning young American minds for decades and is worthy of being pointed out.
It is my opinion that the revisionists who contrived this warped and hypocritical perspective – the Noble Red vs the Evil White – did so to instill deliberately within whites a shame for their American history and culture, and to instill a fear of standing up for its righteousness.
(The revisionists have also done this with slavery and colonialism. Through these institutions the revisionists have rewritten history for the sake of making whites look depraved, while non-whites are perfectly justified in doing the same slaving and colonizing. But expanding this blog right now to address these tangents I’ll do later.)
In winding down this post, I know the Bible tells me to hate no man. I heed those words, but with great difficulty for knowing just how diabolical and destructive these notions have been to the United States of America. These revisionist hypocrisies have disposed Americans to accept a reformation of this beautiful country into a melting pot of a thousand peoples and even more cultural ideas that have absolutely no loyalty to America’s foundational ideas, which guided this land to become the envy of the world.
All real Americans should hate this evil too. They should see how our country was diabolically altered by the Evil White Man version of history, and how it has reduced millions of white to quivering cowards, including mainy who are literally ashamed of being white. This self-loathing is born of evil. I passionately hate it.
Then, of course, it is only fair to ask: did the White Man in fact to do the same thing as the Red Man?
The Anglo American civilization in North America created something amazing that primitive civilizations of the Indian – and they were primitive – never could for the thousands of years he was here. This difference merits that question.
But I’d like to address that question later.
Regardless, I hope I’ve made clear the festering hypocrisy that lies at the heart of modern academic paradigms of American History.
Again, there are more hypocrisies. All of them were contrived to create self-loathing and destroy.
Really good post.
